Chester Arthur Lyrics by Electric Needle Room

The Presidents of the United States of America, Vol. 2

2013

[Chorus]
Chester
You fought hard
Arthur
Against odds

[Verse 1]
From New York he then headed west to Kansas
Lawyer bothered by what he witnessed out there
Represented those who couldn’t defend themselves
Big supporter of John Fremont, Lincoln, Grant

[Chorus]
Chester
A stalwart
Arthur
Hated at first
Chester
Later respected

[Verse 2]
Surprised to be a nominee for Vice President
Suspected of being involved with Garfield’s death
Today we know he had nothing to do with it
He later turned on Conkling and on patronage

[Bridge]
He prided himself on style
Redecorated the White House
Lost his party’s nomination
Despite working so hard for them
He prided himself on style
Redecorated the White House
Lost his party’s nomination
Despite working so hard for them
Arthur
But changed his mind
